  • RealTraffic: Offering new direct connection type without the need to start the RealTraffic app. Enter your RealTraffic license in the settings.
  • Introduced Parked Aircraft:
    • Added flight phase "Parked" for those planes stopped on a known startup position. Parked planes don't appear on TCAS or external tools.
    • Added #255 option to keep parked aircraft even after they receive no more live position updates. See "Settings > Basics > Cooperation > Keep parked aircraft", enabled by default. They appear with channel "Synthetic" in the Aircraft List.
  • Reworked much of the networking code for more robust and independent handling of several channels in parallel.
  • Reduced dependency on OpenSky for master data (aircraft type and route information):
    • Reduced aircraft master data lookup, as RealTraffic and ADSBEx nowadays provide good plane type information already.
    • Added new OpenSky Master Data File channel for lookup of plane type information, which bases on monthly download of a "database" file rather than individual network requests per plane. Should work even if OpenSky API is down.
  • Added XPMP2 issue TwinFan/XPMP2#64 airline mapping in new file relOp.txt, which allows to use same liveries for subsidaries of mother airline companies, like using EIN (Aer Lingus Ireland) liveries for EUK (Aer Lingus UK) flights.
  • Fixed issue #221 on ForeFlight output: Discovers ForeFlight clients, then sends unicast to those clients specifically.
  • Fixed XPMP2 issue TwinFan/XPMP2#65 using all network interfaces for remote functionality. If you use it, also update the Remote Client.
  • Fixed too many channel switches, especially when ADSBHub was involved in addition to other channels.
  • Fixed #261 hiding of static objects.
  • Reduced (but not completely prevented) floating ground aircraft with ADS-B Exchange.
